15" Chop Saw Blade Source

It seems like time is passing me by, every one is using sliding miter saws
but I still have my Hitachi 15" chop saw. Any recommendations as far as a
general purpose framing blade? I have an 80 tooth carbide blade that will be
in the sharpening shop soon. TIA

the 80 tooth is great for framing. i use the 100 and the 120 tooth for
trim. blades are not found at the borg but most any contractor supply
has or can get them.

CMT has a 100 tooth 15". He can check dealers at their web site,
www.cmtusa.com.

Started to post this earlier and the thread got lost in the ether--combination
of my clumsy fingers and piss poor placement when I drug CMT up from the
depths.

Anyway, a quick note: Their blades are excellent.

Freud also has a 15" blade that is excellent. Again, the site,
www.freudtools.com, has a dealer locator.
